Chapter Thirty: We Do No Good Deeds and Make No Friends
gs. I have left the HTML tags as they are.The top-tier fortune teller Yu Beidou, who is known as "having mastered the art of divination for half a century," highly praised him, saying that he "outshi..."Qin Guang Wang, you are indeed courageous," Bian Cheng Wang's tone was ambiguous: "Having just escaped the tiger's mouth, you rush into the wolf's den!"
Qin Guang Wang once again stressed: "It's not me, it's us."

King Bian of the State of Wei said, “The State of Wei is not a good place.”
"Have we ever been good people" Qin Guangwang laughed, "Back then, Zhang Linchuan could stir up trouble in the Wei State. You and I working together, what can't we do"
King Bian of the State of Chu had been to the State of Wei before, during the pursuit of Zhang Linchuan.
One should have a general understanding of Wei's military strength.
However, at that time, it was a land route from the Southern Region into Wei.
This time, however, it was to enter Wei from the waterway of the northern border.
Hearing this, he sighed helplessly: "Zhang Linchuan's initial troublemaking was in Xilan County, Mowang City, Wan Sang Town. The place you want to stir up, Anyi City, is the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom!"
So much time has passed, Zhang Linger is dead and gone. Yet King of Biancheng still remembers vividly the places where he once roamed freely, causing chaos and upheaval. This shows just how deep his hatred was at that time.

Qin Guangwang said, "But he slaughtered a town. We're only killing one person. It shouldn't cause much of a reaction."
Assassination, after all, is not a head-on confrontation. It's not like stepping onto a stage where both sides give their all, fighting to the death.

Their style is to strike quickly and disappear, leaving no trace behind.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even if you, Wei Guo, are a divine ox of ten thousand talents, I can steal just a hair from you and disappear without causing the nation to collapse.
"Whom shall we kill" asked the King of Bian.
“Zhang Shouli, the maternal uncle of the State of Wei.”
"This serving is so heavy"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"A person of such insignificant stature wouldn't warrant your, King Biancheng, making a move."
King Bian of the State of Cheng let out a cold snort.
Qin Guang Wang continued to add: "Zhang Shouliang loved women's milk and often robbed women. He was destitute and had no means of support, becoming the leader of the four evildoers in Anyi. He died at the hands of a dissolute man, which is considered to be his just fate."
"No, are you just assigning this to me" King Biancheng said leisurely, "I haven't agreed to take on a mission yet."
"You are a figure who can slay the true heart with a single sword. For such a heavy responsibility, who else could we choose but you" King Qin Guang said: "Your appearance fee is higher than mine."
King Bian laughed coldly, "I don't believe it! Show me the ledger of Hell's Unending Gate!"
"Of course, I still have organizational fees, intermediary fees, transportation fees, labor fees, and cleanup fees," Qin Guang Wang said honestly.
"You really should take the official route," Bian Cheng Wang said, taking a deep breath.
Qin Guang Wang smiled faintly and said, "Is it that I don't want to"
Yeah.
If the story had unfolded normally, if he were born in a less deformed country, he should also be an excellent city lord by now, making rapid progress on the official career path.

If the story had developed normally, he Bian Cheng Wang would now also be a very good Dao student. Perhaps in the Department of Criminal Affairs, perhaps on Yu Jing Mountain... who knows
Now, gazing out the window at the long river, the surging waves before me seem like those turbulent past events. King Biancheng said in confusion: "Doesn't the current Emperor Wei have a reputation for being powerful and decisive How could he possibly consider someone as meticulous and upright as Rong Hu to be evil"
That sentence, "The bi'an carrying the burden is for the Wei family gate, and the long river within a hundred paces is an isolated waist," was so impressive that even he had heard of it.
To be able to stand on the Wángjiāng Building and face the vastness of the Central Imperial Court and speak such bold words, under a ruler who excels in both civil and military affairs, how could he tolerate a mere Zhang Shǒulián
He didn't think the identity of Guo Yong would have any effect in front of the Emperor Wei. Nor did he think that the Empress of Wei could interfere with the Emperor Wei's decision... Such a person wouldn't tolerate someone whispering in his ear.
Perhaps he's still busy cultivating at the Hall of Administration, wasted two years as a door god. Otherwise, how could he be so unfamiliar with the situation in Wei State He should have known where Zhang Shoulian’s confidence came from.
He probably has his reasons. If you're curious, you can explore the answers yourself.
King Qin Guang said: “I only promise that what I told you is true. Killing Zhang Shoucheng did not violate your regulations.”
Because this line is meant to declare the massacre of the Yu family as an escape, once Wei State starts making waves, there's no need for Jing State to maintain martial law anymore. Those "Yan Luo" who have been lingering within Jing State's borders can then withdraw easily. Therefore, Bian Cheng Wang's actions are crucial.
"What level of cultivation does this Zhang Shoulian possess" King Biancheng asked.
He had just barely opened the door to his inner sanctum.
"That task is very easy."
"It's because it's simple that I care about you."
King Biancheng pondered, "Is it truly the Inner Palace Realm Genuine and authentic Not an outer hall Not a hidden cultivation by Shen Lin"
"It's truly and undeniably the Inner Palace Realm! I'm absolutely sure!"
"Sign here."
"Hey there, just a little glitch. Don't go jumping to conclusions!"
Qin Guang Wang swore solemnly, "In this world, how could there be so many hidden cultivators from the D Zhen sect"
That makes sense.
The King of Biancheng was hesitant, wavering between belief and doubt.
Qin Guang Wang turned his head to look back at the cabin and said, “Then it’s settled. We’ll do as we discussed. Bian Cheng Wang will carry out this mission. Wu Guan Wang is in charge of the preliminary intelligence work and will meet Bian Cheng Wang outside the city. I will be responsible for filling in any gaps and will meet the two of you outside the Wei state border.”

King Bian of the city nodded coldly.

Investigator Wang:
When will we discuss this
Who discussed this with me
But when he met Qin Guang Wang's gaze, waiting for confirmation, he could only nod forcefully.
The state of Wei was situated in a crucial location. To the north lay the powerful Da Jing, to the west the formidable Song, and to the south the hegemonic Chu.
In the past, there used to be Xia country in the east. Now, we don't have to worry about it anymore because it has become part of the Qi kingdom in the south.
This place has been in constant warfare since ancient times, and martial arts have always been highly respected here.
Needless to say, King Bian and King Qin Guang had only taken a few steps at this border town of Wei when they already witnessed several brawls. It was a case of striking first before any words were spoken.
Officer Wang had already gone to Anyi City ahead of time to do intelligence work, and Kings Bian and Qin were also about to leave separately.
> When it comes to assassinations, Coroner Wang is a true professional. You can absolutely trust his expertise.
Qin Guang Wang said.
"Can I only rely on this" King Biancheng asked.
"That doesn't sound like a question you would ask," Qin Guangwang glanced at him before saying, "As long as you can maintain the power to kill him at any time, he'll still be reliable."
"That's quite reliable, indeed," said the King of Bian.
"When discussing the word 'reliable' in this line of work, it shows a lack of professional sensitivity, wouldn't you say" King Qin Guang smiled. "After killing Zhang Shouliang, you can leave directly, and the reward will be sent to you later."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The King of Biancheng actually had many questions he wanted to ask.
"But all he said in the end was, 'Why don't we just settle up now You know, being an assassin is a dangerous business. What if something happens to you I can't exactly go chasing after payment in the Source Sea.'"
King Qin Guang smiled and said, "Ask something else."
"Oh, well then." The City King pondered for a moment. "Actually, there's been a question that's been bugging me for a long time, and I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to ask or not."
Qin Guang Wang said: "I don't know if I should ask or not, it's not very polite to ask when you shouldn't."
Then the King of Bian asked, "Where is your cousin now"
Qin Guang Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know."
"You don't know" King Biancheng raised an eyebrow slightly.
"I truly don't know," Qin Guang Wang became more serious. "After Chu Jiang Wang sent her away, I didn't inquire further. Life is a road with constant forks, and she and I merely happened to travel together for a while. I admit that all the experiences we shared on that path are now behind us, as we walk different roads. All I know is that she is still living somewhere in this world, but that is no longer my concern."
"You've always been a very clear-headed person." Bian Cheng Wang nodded, then turned and walked away. "See you later."
Qin Guang Wang waved his hand nonchalantly and watched Bian Cheng Wang walk into the crowd.
>
Before he was fully absorbed into the crowd, he suddenly asked, "What if I did something wrong at this checkpoint"
King Biancheng did not turn around, his voice cold: "Isn't it normal for a murderer to be killed"
Then King Qin Guang asked, "Hypothetically speaking, if something were to happen to me and your payment hadn't been settled yet"
King Bian then fell silent and continued walking forward. After his figure disappeared, he left behind a single sentence: "Then I will collect the debt my way."
Qin Guang Wang patted his shoulder thoughtfully.
Then he turned around.
He understood that King Bian was advising him, but he was a man who didn't take advice.
Just as he advised King Biancheng to take a certain path, King Biancheng also refused to follow it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He decided to delay this payment until King Bian of Chu took the initiative to find him, and then he would settle accounts based on his mood. This mountain city named "Nan Wei" was a key border town for the State of Wei. From its construction to the present day, the long-term military adversary had always been the State of Chu. Therefore, it had a powerful military presence, with every corner revealing signs of its readiness for war. The oldest profession in the world is trading other people's lives.
The assassin earned his living by depriving others of life, ensuring his own survival through the acquisition of resources. Every step he took was a tightrope walk. He turned his back on the crowd and walked alone out of the city, leaving the borders of Wei behind.
The wind in the southern regions seemed fiercer than anywhere else, always blowing head-on, refusing to yield even to the hem of one's garments. Long ago, he was just such a man who left his homeland.

He kept walking, actually without a right direction but he wanted to see the long river again.
So he arrived at Duanwen Bridge, the ninth town of Jiu Zhen on the Long River.
The sound of waves one hears while on a boat pales in comparison to the clarity and grandeur heard on the Kiss Bridge. Perhaps it is precisely because Jiu Zhen suppresses this earthly ancestral river that, upon the Nine Bridges, one can feel such intensity.
Using the might of ancient emperors and the power of humanity, they built a platform on top of the Nine Prefectures to tame the Yellow River. However, even with such strength, they could not fully control it, leading to the continuous Yellow River Conferences throughout history.
It truly is magnificent. Upon this grand bridge, people seem like ants. Looking up at the sky, it stretches endlessly. Gazing down at the river, it feels boundless and vast.
And the waves roared like thunder, and the yellow earth overflowed into the river.
How vast the world is!
He, being in the same place, was even more overjoyed.
>
Over the years, his footprints have spanned the globe, yet his heart remains confined to his childhood.
Zeng Qing, Su Muqing, and the Lower City girl he once loved sincerely.
Just as he single-handedly created a path to Hell, forging his own way in this narrow domain of magic. Yet, magic itself kept reminding him why he had chosen to tread such a treacherous path.
He didn't know how long he had walked for, but then his footsteps stopped.
The fresh breath of the river, danced playfully on the enormous bat carving. It gathered into a hazy mist, and from within the mist, a voice emerged: "You seem to have been waiting for me"
"Well then." Qin Guangwang stopped his steps and said calmly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The river wind howled with fury, unleashing a mighty roar. Yet, as it reached the top of Jiuzhen, it softened instantly, swirling gently around his hems. His long hair hung still, unmoved by the river wind.
"You are very confident." the voice from the mist said.
King Qin Guang was very calm: "Guest, you have broken the rules."
"Ha, rules" The mist rose and fell as if chuckling.
King Qin Guang waved his hand dismissively and said to himself, "All the rules and regulations of Hell without a Gate were established by me."
All customers can only place orders with the scattered "Mok He Beng Gong". Tasks are initially screened by local ghost houses: then nearby Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Judge, and Meng Po will pick up and execute them.
All tasks requiring the mobilization of Yama need to pay a deposit to local ghost houses first.
"I'll be the one to select the tasks and concentrate on them. The contract is only formed once I approve, and that's when the imp will ask the client for the final payment."
"Each local ghost house, and every external organization responsible for carrying out auxiliary missions, are completely independent of one another with no interaction. I have always maintained a one-way connection with each of these external organizations."
In theory, clients shouldn't be able to find me, or any of the Yan Luo.
He looked at the fog in front of him: "Of course, there's nothing impossible in this world. You'll always find a way."
Or, shall we say, you guys
"Interesting," the voice in the mist said, using a tone that was anything but. "Your organization's structure is quite complete, you are a rare talent. I imagine this meeting has given you some leads... why don't you tell me what else you know"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
I don't know anything, and I don't want to know anything. You better not let me know anything either. As Qin Guang Wang's mask lightly clicked against his hip, seemingly gazing emptily across the bridge at the raging waves: "We are merely employer and employee. I uphold the rules of the assassin profession, maintaining the reputation of Hell's Unbreakable Gate. Outside of assignments, we needn't, nor should we, exist in any other capacity."
"That makes sense," a voice chuckled through the mist. "But have you even confirmed if you have the right to speak rationally Right here, right now, in front of me"
Qin Guang Wang also laughed: "To see Youjia as a thorn in their side, but unable to act openly, and able to deprive Yin Guan of his right to speak reason... Few people in Jing Guo would meet these conditions. Even now, I still don't know who you are, or who you all are. But when facing danger, there are inevitably some outlandish speculations. If I die here, these outlandish speculations will spread throughout the land."
"You're getting more interesting!" a voice from the mist said, "Let me think, how do you plan to spread those outlandish guesses all over the world Relying on those so-called Yama Kings Yang Guo's last prince, Yang Xuance, Ling Wufeng, who hails from Song Guo and is known as the 'Evil Gentleman,' Nai Tingsheng, the rune genius who defected from Ju Cheng... Or do you want me to name someone else"
This indifferent voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sense of finality like a gavel: "Do you think they still have a chance"
>
Qin Guang Wang's face remained unchanged: "Don't try to deceive me. If you know all the names of these intermediaries, you can find each one and kill them — if you truly know."
The voice in the mist softened: "You are very confident. Which Yama gives you such confidence"
Qin Guang Wang said: "What gives me confidence is that each ghost dwelling can now survive independently. Those are the many parts that don't belong to the hell with no gate, but only do part-time transfer tasks, but the Mo He Liang Gong who have already taken root everywhere. It is the sweat and blood I have poured into this organization over the years, of course, you can also think it is a certain Yan Luo."
A voice from the mist said, "Do you think I would worry about a threat of this level"
Qin Guang Wang said: "Of course you are not worried, and there is no fear. You just don't want to cause too much trouble... why bother"
"Hahahahahahaha, today's youngsters are really... much more cunning than we were back then!" A voice from the mist said: "Alright! I'll ask you a few questions, and when you're done, I'll let you go."
>
"No, no, no." King Qin Guang shook his head at this moment. He stood in the center of the giant stone bridge, with an inherent order about him. He looked at the mist before him and said, "Before we proceed, I need to ask you something. The reason I took on this task, the reason I dared to risk everything and stand before you, is because I hope you can solve a mystery that has plagued me for years."
"If I don't answer" a voice asked from the mist.
"Hell has no gate, it's a business transaction done in plain sight. We don't do good deeds, and we don't make friends." Qin Guang Wang said, "If you don't answer my question, how can I answer yours"
A light laugh came from within the mist: "Then you ask."
Qin Guang Wang remained expressionless, but spoke each word deliberately: "That King of the Eight Immortals who was blessed by Heaven, how could he be so carefree lying there What is the reason behind this"
